第一节 (共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，共计 30 分) A If you called someone a scientist in the early eighteenth century they would have thought of someone who improved on practical designs. Benjamin Franklin was such a scientist. He liked asking questions and then trying to find out the answers. For example, he thought that storms moved in the opposite direction to the winds that went with them. He suggested that it would be possible to mark the path of a storm on a map. To prove it he rode into a storm and then followed it down the road. Today people do not chase storms but they do mark their journeys down on maps. Since Benjamin Franklin spent so much time sailing from America to Europe, he became very interested in sea currents. In November, 1783, when he was in Paris, he happened to watch the first hot air balloon flight. He thought that hot air balloons could be used for war, perhaps for spying or dropping bombs on an enemy! But sadly he died before the first American hot air balloon flight. 56.

D. Benjamin was interested in peaceful uses of hot air balloon flights. B One day Haydn and Mozart had a competition. Mozart bet Hayden that he could not play the entertaining piece which Mozart had composed earlier that day. Haydn happily agreed to6

the bet as he was famous for his sight-reading of music. So Mozart produced the piece of music and put it on the keyboard. At first Haydn had no trouble with it. He began well but all of a sudden the music stopped and his hands fell to his sides. There was a difficulty. This piece of music required the pianist to play at opposite ends of the keyboard while a note was being played directly in the centre of the piano. How could this be achieved? It seemed impossible! Haydn sat and looked at the music and was finally forced to agree that Mozart had won the bet. “But you can only win if you play this piece yourself,” he said. Mozart willingly agreed. He took his place at the piano and began to play. Sure enough his two hands were soon busy at either end of the keyboard just as the note in the centre of the keyboard needed to be played. Haydn watched in amazement as Mozart bent his face towards the keyboard. As the time for the note to be played arrived, Mozart bent his head very close to the keyboard that. Then he picked out the note and played it — with his nose. Haydn laughed and had to agree that Mozart had won the bet fair and square！ 59. What did Mozart and Haydn bet? A. They bet that Haydn couldn’t read a piece Mozart had composed. B. They bet that Haydn couldn’t play a piece Mozart had composed. C. They bet that Haydn couldn’t produce a piece as Mozart required. D. They bet that Haydn couldn’t tell whether a piece was composed by Mozart. 60. Haydn was famous for A. reading music by sight C. commenting on music 61. We can infer from the passage that . B. composing music D. playing music with a piano .

A. Haydn enjoyed a better reputation than Mozart B. Haydn thought it was an unfair competition C. Mozart was better than Haydn in playing music D. Mozart was confident he would win in the competition 62. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. A Gifted Musician C. An Interesting Competition C7

B. Friendship between Two Musicians D. A Famous Piece of Music

The Sahara Festival is a three-day African celebration of the very recent past, which takes place every year either in November or December. It is part military display and part competition. The military display comes first. It is very popular with tourists and local people and especially with government leaders. During the opening ceremonies, the government leaders first make speeches. They welcome everybody to the display and hope that everyone will enjoy themselves. Then there is a display of soldiers who march very smartly in front of the place where the government leaders sit. Then horsemen from several different countries show off their beautiful clothes and their good riding skills. One after another they come and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turns to show off their wonderful traditional clothes and dances. They are accompanied by men playing drums and beating strong rhythms for the dancers. The highlight of the opening ceremony are the races which take place in the evening. It is the grand finale of the day. Men ride their horses very fast. Some ride with their legs in the air, others ride in pairs on different horses. It is so fast and so wonderful! 63. The Sahara Festival is a festival which A. has a very long history in North Africa B. is not celebrated on the same dates each year C. is attended mainly by the people in the Sahara D. is celebrated only by travellers from different countries 64.

C. what takes place at the closing ceremonies of the Sahara Festival D. how animals race on the first and the last days of the Sahara Festival D What is teaching? It’s a difficult question to answer. In fact, as long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”. Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity. It can be seen and observed. Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest(探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children”. When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher fulfil them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading. 67. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ______. A. reading enriches children’s experience B. teacher and learner roles are interchangeable C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge D. children become highly motivated

68. The instruction of reading will be successful if

.

A. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading B. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students C. teachers can devise the most efficient system for reading D. teachers can make their teaching activities observable 69. The underlined word “scrutiny” most probably means “ A. inquiry B. suspect C. control ”. D. observation

70. The main idea of the passage is that ________. A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible C. reading is more complicated than generally believed D. reading ability is something acquired rather than taught 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 Kids who have autism (自闭症) see the world differently than other people do, so they sometimes react to it in unexpected ways. 71 She hopes that people can understand autism and treat those who have autism with respect.

13

56. B 解析： 本文并未提到 Franklin 在电学方面的成就， 因此 A 不对； C 和 D 也未涉及。 而 57. C 解析：从第二行 practical 一词可以看出 C 选项正确。 58. C. A 不是推断出来而是直接呈现的；B 与最后一句话不符；D 错在 peaceful 一词上。 59．B 解析：第一段第二句告诉了答案，即：Mozart bet Hayden that he could not play the entertaining piece which Mozart had composed earlier that day. 60. A 解析：由第一段第三句可知正确答案是选项 A。 61. D 解析：从 Mozart 后来的表现和倒数第六行的 willingly 一词可以看出选项 D 正确。 62. C 解析：A、D 明显与文章不符；没有如 B 所说强调友谊，而只是一次有趣的打赌。 63. B 解析：从第一段就能发现 A、C、D 是错误的。由第一段第二行的 either … or 可以看 出它的日期不定。 64. C 解析：第二段中逐个介绍了开幕式中参加表演的人。 65. C 解析： 从前后的信息中可以看出这部分应该是当天开幕式的高潮， 也是最后部分了。 结合 the evening 和 finale 本身与 final 的联系来看，也应选 C。 66. A 解析：文章第二段和第三段的中心词都是 opening ceremonies，闭幕式从没提到， 也没有提到三天具体的活动，所以选 A。 67. D 解析：依据文章第四段、 第五段所提供的信息， 特别是第五段第三行 Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading. (当教师们创造了一种环 境，使孩子们有机会自己通过阅读解决所遇到的问题时，学习阅读就变得容易多了)，可 以看出 D 项与之最为相近。 68. A 解析： 依据文章第二段第二行 The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. (教学的任务是为学生能够找出自己最有效的自学阅读的方 法创造条件和氛围)，A 项符合上述意思，为正确答案。注意与选项 C 的区别。 69. D 解析：猜测词义题。inquiry 询问；observation 观察；control 控制；suspicion 怀 疑。该词出现在第三段最后两句 process is not open to public scrutiny，考生可从该句的上 文作出推测。最明显的提示出现在第二段最后两句 Teaching is also a public activity. It can be seen and observed. 所以，scrutiny 最可能的词义应该是 observation，故 D 项正确。 70. D 解析：依据文章第一段最后一句 reading cannot be taught directly and … 说明阅读 能力并不是通过教师教就能掌握的。教师应做的是给学生创造一个好的环境和条件，激 发学生阅读的渴望，培养出良好的阅读习惯和方法，只有这样，才能掌握阅读技能，提 高阅读水平。所以选项 D 正确。
